Preview Of SANDOWN 14:40 07/03/2008 By Native

Newton Bridge could still be well treated back over fences of his current mark of 103, 2lb below his current hurdle mark, but I am not 100% convinced and though he could win he is pretty short in the market considering he is still 14lb higher than his last chase victory. I do not think Gordon Elliot would send him back over fences if he did not have a chance here but I think the options are becoming limited and he is one of a few with a chance and could find one of that few to good here and preference is for JACK THE BLASTER, who himself has done little wrong this term since having a wind operation over the break, only finding Patavium to good for having way to much to do through Denis O'Regan. He return to winning ways sent back over fences and won nicley and now appears here just 2lb higher entering handicap company, ground will not be anissue and I have really been impressed with the short resurgance of the Howard Johnson stable, that is not to say they are fully recovered, far from it but things are looking good at the right time and as stated with Companero yesterday he is not sending out horses to lose.
